FLAMES IN SPACE: WHY THEY FORM SPHERES

In space, flames appear as spheres, not teardrops like on Earth.

This is because microgravity prevents convection currents from forming, so heat and gases distribute evenly around the ignition source.

This results in uniform oxygen and…

More astronauts aboard means more science!

The NASA Commercial Crew program partners with industry to bring astronauts, cargo, and experiments routinely to the International Space Station, an orbiting microgravity lab. Read about commercial crew benefitting station: go.nasa.gov/3UixKKl

In space, there is an absence of gravitational pull or, more accurately, there is very weak gravity acting on objects. This state of near-weightlessness is often referred to as microgravity. While gravity still exists in…

HEALTH ISSUES ASTRONAUTS FACE:

Astronauts face a myriad of health issues upon their return from space, largely due to the drastic change in environment from microgravity to Earth's gravity. Here…

#ISS NASA Scientists have found various strains of bacteria on the ISS. These new strains are probably created by microgravity and radiation conditions. Since the astronauts are grilled for immunity these modified bacteria may not have had any effects yet.Future mission check?

Sometimes you need a two-dimensional Jeremy R. Hansen inside your Orion spacecraft to ensure things will fit ok in microgravity.

After floating gracefully in microgravity, their bodies have to relearn how to stand upright on solid ground. But here's the catch: weakened leg muscles and cardiovascular changes mean standing up can make them feel dizzy or even faint!

You may have heard astronauts saying their back pain went away in space because the microgravity environment allowed their spine to lengthen slightly. I had the opposite experience and found the lack of gravity causing my vertebrae and ligaments to stretch in space - actually…

Happy International Dance Day from space! 🪩

Our very own Swedish astronaut 🇸🇪👨‍🚀Marcus Wandt showed us how to bust a move in microgravity to the beats of Swedish House Mafia using angular momentum.

What song would you choose to dance in space? 🕺🏼💃🏾

On intl space station there's strains of treatment resistant bacteria that have now evolved into organisms not seen on earth
Microgravity + intense radiation drive fast mutations

Many think bacteria and virus came to earth from space. Think of what we may inadvertently create

Challenger completed its 7th mission (17th STS) OTD in 1985 with a landing at Edwards AFB (Runway 17). The 7+d STS-51B (Spacelab 3) featured the 2nd flight of the ESA Spacelab LM. The 7 crewmembers worked in 2 shifts to complete multi-disciplinary research in microgravity.
